What is it? Clearly not Mopar...
What did he do for a living and what were his hobbies?

Dad was a Raw Materials Inspector for Bendix/Purolator in Elmira, NY. He loved guns and hunting, DIY of all kinds, cars (Mopars), and he and Mom traveled the country in their retirement, visiting gold mines, silver, copper mines, ghost towns and they were rock hounds. He was a man of many interests. Too many to list here. He did all of his own car repairs until he couldn't anymore, and yes, I held the flashlight a lot as a kid. He was a great Dad.
He overhauled his own car engines on several occasions, and when the poly 318 blew up in his 1958 Plymouth station wagon, we found a Dodge D-500 325 Hemi in the local boneyard and put that in the Plymouth. Put dual exhausts on it, and by chance, when he had to replace the rear diff. it ended up with a limited slip. He always called it the "Bearcat." We took a family vacation from New York to Phoenix, AZ in the Bearcat.
